First, to jidanni, I really think you'd get a fair bit further if you adopted a
somewhat less accusative tone towards those who you're hoping will fix your
problems for you.

Also, I hope I'm not the only one who thinks it's rather odd that we're trying
to build an encyclopedia, but "the most important image on the whole site" is
not an image used to illustrate the topic of an article, but the site's logo. I
would hope that people who use our wiki are "painstaking[ly] craft[ing]" their
content rather than a little pretty image.

As for an actual constructive suggestion, if the only reason we use the
background hack in the first place is because it allows for images of the wrong
size to be uploaded, maybe we should just require that uploaded images be the
right size. Or use imagemagick, if available, to fix it. Then we could make our
image be an image. Since presumably people making logos have some graphic
design ability, they surely can crop their images.
